MARCH 2019 EXHIBIT 'LEARNING TO FLY'
​
"Learning to fly is my journey into becoming a wildlife artist. This work catalogues my journey as I captured wildlife in separate mediums; oil, acrylic and finally in watercolour. This journey is over 10 years, and led me to my "found niche" painting birds. Birds surround us daily and I've begun to capture the ones that surround me. The birds are my first works in water colour and the birds painted will be from south eastern Queensland in the majority.
I have a lifetime of art, working in different mediums but have only seriously been painting in water colours this past year. I find it a beautiful medium for depicting the intricacies of the lives of birds as well as the delicateness of their feathers and features.
The paintings will be accompanied by some mixed media jewellery (quirky hand-painted bird brooches) inspired by the paintings and the birds." Debbie Dieckmann.
